U.S. Mideast policy is contradictory, risky, and losing influence regionally.


Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

  1. What is your perspective on the U.S. foreign policy contradictions in the Middle East?
  2. How do you interpret Trump’s role in the recent Israeli-Iran tensions?
  3. Do you believe Netanyahu’s statements about Pakistan and Iran indicate a broader agenda?
  4. What are your thoughts on the risks of nuclear conflict due to false flag operations?
  5. How do you assess the effectiveness of U.S. influence in the region, particularly regarding Saudi Arabia and Iran?


Paul Craig Roberts:

  1. U.S. foreign policy seems contradictory, with public denials and behind-the-scenes coordination with Israel, risking unintended escalation.
  2. Trump appears to be playing a duplicitous role, negotiating with Iran while enabling Israeli attacks, possibly under pressure from pro-Israel factions.
  3. Netanyahu’s comments suggest a dangerous expansionist agenda that could destabilize the region further, including potential threats to Pakistan.
  4. The risk of nuclear conflict is growing, especially with false flag operations or miscalculations, as seen in recent unexplained attacks on Russian assets.
  5. U.S. influence is waning; despite efforts to control outcomes, regional actors like Iran and Russia are asserting independence, challenging American dominance.
